When it comes to the morning school run, there are generally two types of parents you’ll encounter. On one side, you have the well-dressed, polished folks who look like they just stepped out of a magazine shoot. They sport coordinated outfits and often wear makeup. Then, there’s the rest of us, who might still be in our pajamas or at least wearing the clothes we rolled out of bed in. If we bother with makeup at all, it’s likely a remnant from the night before. Our hair? A lovely mess.
Enter Jennifer Lewis, our go-to relatable celebrity mom. She recently shared a snapshot from her morning routine on Instagram that speaks to all of us. In the post, the 45-year-old is seen in a monogrammed bathrobe and fluffy slippers, clutching her coffee like it’s a lifeline. “Barely made it to the bus on time, but at least mom kept it classy,” she humorously captioned the image. And let’s be real—she did look freshly showered, so maybe she has a slight edge over the rest of us.
Jennifer is a mother of three with her ex-partner, Mike Thompson — Violet, 13; Seraphina, 10; and Samuel, 7. So, mornings in her household are likely a whirlwind of activity.
This isn’t the first time Jennifer has shown us her “stars—they’re just like us” moments. Back in 2019, she shared a hilarious glimpse of her car’s interior, overflowing with kids’ gear, old snacks, and random papers. “Every time I exit the car. How? Why? #notstaged #momlife” she quipped in her post. Additionally, she once revealed the contents of her mom bag; while her purse may cost more than ours, the items—like heart stickers, tea stirrers, and stray dollar bills—are all too familiar.
Though Jennifer is one of our favorite amusing moms of older kids, she might soon have some competition in the relatable department. With Amy Schumer‘s little one, Gene, starting school soon, we can only imagine the delightful chaos that awaits.
